Rag Morris | Morris Dancing teacher

Rag Morris — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:39:58 +0000

Rag Morris has acquired its own inimitable style over the last 27 years – free-spirited, energetic, colourful, comic, and very rarely normal.

We wear brilliantly coloured rag shirts and bells, inspired by the traditional costume of the Welsh Borders. Our dances come from the Cotswold Hills and the Welsh Borders.

We dance with sticks, hankies, bare hands, and occasionally plastic chickens, to the accompaniment of accordions, melodeons, fiddles, whistles, and drums, and with the assistance of our trusty steed, Rags the Horse.

David Robinson | guitar teacher

mojomusiclessons — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:40:17 +0000

‘Mojo Music Lessons’ is a small company based on the outskirts of Salisbury which aims to teach Electric and Acoustic Guitar to players of all ages and abilities.

With a young mind and fresh outlook, I look to bring an up-to-date approach to Guitar lessons, as well as appreciate great music of the past.

I believe in learning from the classics, that way we can see how music today has been inspired. But rather than just copying those great players, I like to look at why their music works, so we can borrow
from it and make our own.
